So I Don’t Have Any Regrets
Don’t you ever go down those stairs.
Brother Dearest, can we play the swappy game again?
Where’s Toi?
Ryui…?! What are you doing h—
It’s too late. Oshisha-sama will soon descend upon us.
Brother Dearest, get me out!!! I’m scared!!! I need you!!! Waaaahhhhh!!!
*gasp*
Oh my, you’re shaking. Are you alright?
Don’t…
Don’t fuckin’ touch us…!
Ah…! H-Hey now, I think you’ve had a bit too much to—
*rumbling*
Huh?
AAAHH! An earthquake?!
No… This is—
W-Woah! It’s a big one…!
Hm? Strange, there weren’t any earthquake alerts…
OH, WOW! So this is the undulation of a living planet!!
Miss, turn off the fire and the gas. Chief, let’s get everyone outta here.
O-Okay!
Huhh? This ain’t much.
We’ll be fiiiine.
A magnitude 3 or 4’s nothin’ for JPN.
Earthlings are soooo cool!!
Ahaha, you imbeciles still think this is nothing more than an earthquake?
Then how will you explain this…?
*glass breaking* *rumbling*
AHH! My sake! Dammit, what a waste!
(Did that glass just break out of nowhere?!)
*glass breaking*
What’s happening?! This is scaring me!
We need to get outta here! Check, please!
This isn’t the time for that! We need to evacuate!
Ahahahaha! Yes, shudder in fear… Cry and wail for me, bow at my feet!
Ahaha! Wow, wow! So this is the power an angel holds!
Hohh, are you not afraid?
Show me mooore!
Your amiability sickens me. I’ll need to discipline you.
*snap* *whoosh*
(That knife just barely missed Netaro’s head…!)
I was aiming for the crown of your head. You are more nimble than most humans.
Wooow, didja move that with th’ power of zero grav’ty? Can y’teleport? Or create a warp hole?
Y’do all that wit’ noooo tools? Simply widda snap of y’fingeeers? Ohhh, I wish I could dissect yooouuu!
You irritate me.
Toi-kun, uh, wait, Oshisha-sama, right? Oshisha-sama, we need to get out of here!
Silence. That is enough. I grow weary.
Vanish from my sight.
Ah… Ugh…
Hurgh…
*thud*
Huh? They just fell— Are you okay?!
It looks like they fainted. I can carry them.
A chill just went up my spine! This feels weird, it’s freakin’ me out…!
Ah, yeah… I feel sick… I’m getting the chills…
Didja drink too much? I thought you were doin’ pretty alright…
Whassis? What happened?
Ugh… My head hurts… Let’s just get out of here, everyone…!
W-Whyyy?! I wan’ talk to th’angeeel!
No! Netaro-kun, we need to go…!
Ah, G’AAAHAAHGHH! Do not puuuull!
Toi, let’s go…!
Hm…
Gh… Agh…
Yodaka, over here! Bring the others!
*pant, pant…* Al…right…
Hmph… And then there were two. I haven’t seen you since we last met at the airport, Ryui.
……
Fucker… You agreed to never use Toi’s soul again!
Hah! I take no orders from those with only one eye. If you are not by his side, there is no other soul for me to use.
So? You’ve been wandering about aimlessly for weeks. Have you found the means with which to deny your destiny?
I’ll kill you…!
Excuse me…
…!
Everybody outside looked sick when I came back from the bathroom. Toi, I was worried about you, since you weren’t there, so… Huh?
Ohhh, Ryui-san. Ah, am I interrupting your reunion…?
Wha— You… How the hell are you so calm…?! You don’t feel nothin’?! Like, no nausea or dizziness or…?
Oh, you mean from the earthquake? A little bit, I guess…
Haha… Human as you are, you retain your sanity in my presence. You are positively drenched in dispair, aren’t you?
HUH?! That kinda thing can happen…?
Oh, you’re still doing your thing.
Ryui-san, will you come back now?
…That’s none of your business.
You’re a ward mayor just like me now, so it is my business.
Ward mayor?!
It is something Toi decided on in order to find you.
Ah, I’m Hachinoya Nagi. I’m on the Night Team with Toi.
*sigh*
Toi was constantly nervous from the moment I met him. He didn’t do too well at movie night with all of the company extroverts either. He was always on the verge of tears, saying stuff like “I wish my dear brother were here.”
But having any of us comfort him didn’t mean anything. Because he had someone who was irreplaceable to him.
……
I think the reason why Toi changed his personality so much is because he was worried.
That ain’t what it is…
I know that it was really hard on you to do all of this, but could you stay by Toi’s side, so he can be happy?
Please.
Let’s go back to HAMA together.
We can revive HAMA together. And you can also be the Night Team leader instead, please.
(This fucker’s got some balls to be sayin’ alla this to me.)
…Don’t you agree, Toi?
……
Hey.
Kh… I used too much…of my power…
Oh no…!
*thud*
(Got him…)
Zzz…
(He fell asleep…)
Let him rest tomorrow. He’ll wake up when he gets his strength back.
Huh?
This is my money for the bill. I’m gonna leave it here. Tell the old bat who runs this place later. Got it?
*door opening*
*gasp*
I’m sorry I didn’t catch him. I was so close too. I’ll hold on tightly next time.
It’s okay. I’m just happy that you ran after him for me. Thank you, Nagi-san.
I’m not letting you leave…!
WOAH?!
*thud*
Ow…! Hey, don’t cling onto my legs! I’ll fuckin’ kill you! And don’t just throw Toi on the floor!!
Let go already, ya piece of shit!!
…No…!
Don’t piss me off! I’ll kick a hole right through your stomach and let you sink to the bottom of the bay like a damn brick!
Then do it…! That’s…
That’s a hundred times better than losing your family…!
……
You just don’t get it…!
The one who’s leaving never knows how terrible it feels to be left behind!
What the fuck do you know about me, huh?! I…!
I ain’t leavin’ ‘cuz I wanna! Shit-for-brains! I had to do it for Toi’s sake!
……
I was lonely too…! So stop bein’ so goddamn selfish and preachin’ shit to me!
You’re the one being selfish… If you want him with you so bad, then why are you abandoning him? How can you say you care for him when you don’t even want to put in the effort…?!
…!
It’s okay if you end up fighting with each other. It’s okay if you can’t come to an agreement on things…!
You need to stay together! That assurance that you give each other is what it means to be family! Ryui, please, stay with him! Please…!
……
(He…stopped resisting…)
Ah, Ryui-san, I mean. Sorry for being rude.
Which hotel?
Huh?
I’ll carry Toi.
